Find words in your vocabulary

Once your vocab list grows past a few dozen entries, scrolling stops working. The list has a search box and a set of filters and sort orders that let you find any word — or any group of words — fast.

In the Vocabulary tab, tap the magnifying-glass icon in the AppBar (tooltip “Search”). A search field appears with the placeholder “Search vocabulary…”. Type any part of the source text or its translation; the list narrows as you type.

When a filter is also active, the icon changes to a different magnifying-glass variant and the tooltip becomes “Hide search (filter active)” — that’s how you know search is live but not currently visible.

Open the filters & sort row

Tap the tune icon (⇅ slider-icon) in the AppBar — tooltip “Filters & sort”. A row of four extra buttons appears next to it: Sort, Filter by language, Filter by tag, Filter by wordbook. (They collapse back into the tune icon when you pick something, to keep the AppBar clean.)

Sort

Tap the sort icon. The menu offers:

  • Newest first (default)
  • Oldest first
  • A–Z (source) — alphabetical by the source word
  • Z–A (source)

Your choice is remembered across sessions.

Filter by language

Tap the globe icon (tooltip “Filter by language”). The menu lists every source language you’ve captured, each with a count: “Spanish (47)”, “French (22)”. Pick one to show only entries in that language. Pick All Languages to clear it. See Work in multiple languages.

Filter by tag

Tap the label-outline icon (tooltip “Filter by tag”). The menu shows:

  • Search tags… — type-ahead picker for when you have many tags.
  • Manage tags… — opens the Tags screen.
  • All tags — clear the filter.
  • Recent tags, then all remaining tags, each with an entry count.

Filter by wordbook

Tap the wordbook icon (tooltip “Filter by wordbook”). Same shape as tags:

  • Search wordbooks…
  • Manage wordbooks… — opens the Wordbooks screen.
  • All wordbooks
  • Favorites (count) — the special always-available bucket.
  • Recent wordbooks, then the full list.

Filters combine: language + tag + wordbook + search all narrow the list together.

Start a flashcard session for what you’ve filtered

When a wordbook filter is active, the ▶ Start Flashcards icon in the AppBar reviews only that wordbook. With no wordbook filter active, it reviews All Words. This is the fastest way to drill a specific subset — filter to it, then tap play. See Reviewing with flashcards.
